Im astounded by your ability of being able to read and write properly by being under alcoholic beaverage influence. I, in contrast, try to use refined vocabulary to cover up being drunk; hindered from reading the screen as a result of blurry vision.

I’ve noticed a decline in articulation while under-the-influence.

But that’s just fine.

I guess I’m posting this? I dunno.
I think Carrot Top is pretending she’s a human, pretending she’s talking to me pretending to be a pony that’s pretending to be a human that’s pretending to be a pony.
Or something…
I’m just going to stop drinking...

I’m just going to stop drinking and go to bed.

theblackstrawberry asked: You are tolerant, your more than that, your caring. It's BECAUSE you care that you feel it's hurting you. Life's not fair... It wasn't fair to these foals, it wasn't fair to you... but because it wasn't fair, it's giving you chances now. A chance to change there lives. Keep at it Lyra, I know you can do it.

Of course I can. That’s not really the question. Anypony is capable of doing it. The question is whether or not I want to anymore. If I even think it’s worth it…

And I know that must sound horrible. But I’m only a mortal pony. If you cut me, I bleed. I’m exhausted of the entire situation…

Anonymous asked: Are your ears ticklish?

Not as far as you know.

Anonymous asked: *trans-dimensionally throws the book "techr" at Lyra.*

Okay. Thanks I think.

I can’t seem to find anything about it online. What’s it about?

theblackstrawberry asked: Ohhhh okay... I thought that these ponies were just punks... Your a very kind hearted pony to help these foals, I don't think I'd have the tolerance...

I’m beginning to think I don’t either… Which is depressing and disappointing…

I pride myself on willpower. It’s supposed to be why I’m still alive. Why I suffered through everything and kept going. But if I really can’t take it, and so many others can, what does that make me?

I didn’t mind at first… It was just a thing… But the more I’m exposed to them, the more it hurts me… It’s not fair that they have to live like that…

Anonymous asked: it kinda helped me, not in the long run but i did feel better that day.

Mmhmm. I thought so.

I’ll just stick to mild to moderate drinking. Don’t want to worry anypony.

Anonymous asked: sometimes time can solve your problems, and what better way to waste time than blacking out.

All depends on what you’re willing to risk.

If you’re just getting drunk, chances are you aren’t willing to risk too much.

Not to say you aren’t still taking a risk. Just not a terribly large one if we’re only counting one isolated incident.

Anonymous asked: Wait, what's bad about you waking up next to Boscov besides the part about the hangover?

Nothing! I love Boscov!

I figured he was referring mostly to everything going wrong in my life lately.

Anonymous asked: the initial problems were a lot worse, trust me.

Unless you never intend to return, you aren’t resolving the problems, just delaying them. And delayed problems just become worse problems.

If you have nothing to lose, there are… Lets just say more spectacular things you can do than just getting drunk.

Anonymous asked: The worse thing that could happen from you drinking now would be that you wake up next to the bear in the morning with a hangover.

Honest to Celestia, my life isn’t that bad.

It was. It isn’t anymore.

Anonymous asked: you should drink more, i drank too much once, when i woke up all my problems were gone. granted i was faced with a whole new set of problems, like my current location and my inability to recognize it.

Those sound like worse problems, to be honest.

Anonymous asked: Do you nicknames for each individual string on your lyre?

I… do not, no.

That’s a different kind of question.

If I did, though, I’d have to have quite a few nicknames. I have three lyres with seven strings each. So that’s twenty-one names.

Anonymous asked: Are you drunk yet?

Nah. Trying to moderate a little better this time.

askprofessorlyra asked: Teaching's rough like that, isn't it? Although I can't say I've had to do with the biting recently.

Physically and emotionally draining.
